    Needs to be filled every 1/2 hour to hour - what is the purpose then if you have to feed it more often than a wood stove? Gotta admit I didn't watch the whole thing because I wanted to see the results, not how the guy can fabricate so he might have explained the purpose in the first 5 minutes.

    The concept is pretty good.....very much like a few of the other gravity fed pellet stoves.

    The little glass window is waaaaaaaaay too hinky for me.....Candle jar lids are not rated for high heat.

    Stove glass is a ceramic material and rated for a LOT OF HEAT.

    Cute simple design though...

    Agree- candle jar lid- no go.
